Plus One Lap used to be all about cyclocross, now it's my dumping grounds for anything cycling.

Lightweight Cyclocross Bike: Nik's BMC CrossMachine

Nik's BMC CrossMachine is a pretty sick ride. But of course it is, crap doesnt make it to +1lap. :) The bike has a good mix of components which means the bike looks to be built with racing (rather than for wall displaying) in mind but still brings the weight under 17 pounds (7.7 kilos for the metrically inclined). All without carbon wheels = impressive.
